Errette Dunn, Rever’s CEO, explains how employee recognition is critical in today’s business climate. “People want to work in a place that provides engaging challenges and recognizes initiative and a job well done. This is especially true of frontline workers in industrial environments, where talent scarcity is a top issue. Rever enables manufacturers to become vibrant employers where people care about making things better and be rewarded for it.”

Managers and operators benefit from Rever’s addition of Recognitions.

• Enable collaboration across individuals, teams, and different levels of the organization.
• Drive accountability to participation and contributions to operational execution and excellence.
